Description

To celebrate History Writing Month in Edinburgh, we have gathered together some of the most interesting and respected writers of historical ficiton today to present a thought-provoking series of events. The periods covered range from 11th to 20th centuries. Together, they not only reflect how ficition can reveal the realities of history and help us understand the present, but also represent an interesting variety of approaches to writing historical fiction.

Tom Harper and Iain Pears write multi-layered novels, seamlessly intertwining stories across different ears of history from the ancient world to the present day. Join them as they discuss how they tackle these complex books, peeling back layers to reveal why the past is never truly dead and buried.
